Tales of the Zombie was an American black-and-white horror comics magazine published by Magazine Management, a corporate sibling of Marvel Comics.[1] The series ran 10 issues and one Super Annual from 1973 to 1975, many featuring stories of the Zombie (Simon Garth) by writer Steve Gerber and artist Pablo Marcos.[2]
A magazine rather than a comic book, it did not fall under the purview of the comics industry's self-censorship Comics Code Authority, allowing the title to feature stronger content — such as moderate profanity, partial nudity, and more graphic violence — than the color comics of the time.
